Kinda odd that there’s no left turn signal there, actually.

But yeah, screw him.

Not really. It’s a fairly minor street crossing a VERY MAJOR street. For the traffic it gets it’s not worth the holdup.

I don’t get it because I know nothing about football but I’m sure it’s funny

It’d be worse if he had a trailer.

Bang that left whenever you can.

BOOOOOOO If I saw that shit about to happen from the other side of the intersection, I’d want to rush out there first and block him.

It would be flat out impressive if he’d had a trailer.

And also extremely sad for both he people who gave him enough time for that and for the truckers who can’t seem to get rolling. I get it, they aren’t fast. It still shouldn’t take 2 minutes to get to highway speed.

It was a reference to anticipating the snap count on a blitz without getting caught offsides. Here’s an example, although the marked player is a safety, not a linebacker. Same principle.

*crunch*

But yeah, I agree with you on the feeling

That’s only surprising to me because of how minor the infraction is.

If he did it with a trailer, and stopped halfway through, put on his flashers, and walked to the nearest gas station for a sandwich, I would think, “yup, that’s a trucker.”

That’s up to him, not me. If the right-of-way is mine, then it’s his call whether HE wants to crash or slam on his brakes instead. My dashcam’s ready.

I’ve seen a lot of boneheaded moves from trucks, but rarely one where they’re putting their trust in outrunning potential problems. Pulling in front and causing everyone to lock up? Yup, I’m bigger than you, fuck you. Passing other trucks 10 minutes at a time? I’m more important than you, fuck you. Changing lanes when they want to instead of when it’s safe? Choo choo motherfucker, I’m bigger and I’m coming in. I’m going here because I’m faster than you? Never seen it as far as I can remember.

That’s true enough, but I happen to like my truck. Not worth breaking it.

Besides, in Ontario if you could have done something to prevent an accident you can be found at fault.

I generally try to avoid collisions with a truck, regardless of fault. Sir Isaac Newton doesn’t care that you had the right-of-way. Even at low speeds, that’s a lot of energy to absorb.

I’m just talking a big talk haha. Truth is, I’m actually more cautious that that, but let’s just keep that on the down-low, huh? I want them to think that I’m actually going to jump out there and defend my right-of-way with my car and life. Keep ’em on their toes so that they’ll think twice.

He did give himself quite a head start

Fair point.

I’ve always called this move an “Asshole Left”.

But maybe that’s just redundant

Like I said, well done. Gotta hand him that much.

If he tried that with a trailer it’d be really slow to get rolling due to the weight of his massive balls.

But, yes, i understand caring for the equipment, etc. but there is no reason a tractor trailer can’t hit 45+ inside of 30 seconds, anywhere, anytime.

I drove a box truck for a while, a 4-speed (1st was a granny-gear, so 3 really) non-turbo Ford diesel that was as old as I was. It was never fast, but even with 14 yards of soil in the box I could get to 55 in around 30-40 seconds. Top speed was somewhere around 62. It just ran out of gear.

That truck was definitely in the neutral zone when the ball was snapped.

I didn’t say it was legal. He was off sides for sure. Probably why he’s driving a truck instead of playing.
